The Golden Boy of Confucian Ethics

Hongja took to his early teachings in confucian ethics very much to heart, and worked diligently to implement them across his reign. He was attentive to the empire's problems, yes, but his was a reactive reign, rather than pro active. For all that hongja saw in her to the exclusion of all other women, there is little to be said for this, his one and only wife. She is widely understood as having been a foolish and demanding woman, capable of no more than petty faults, including a constant desire for expensive objects. This vice wascom by her naive credulity when it came to snake oil salesmen and scheisters of the religious nature.
